Moving InDesign files on a server that has stable INCX links

≪ Previous: Error Message: "Unable to lock the following files" when Checking Out Assignment

What concerns are there with moving InDesign files into different folders on a file server that has INCX files linked as Unassigned InCopy Content? The INCX file location would stay constant. Were are not planning on using assignments. Our editorial/art staff currently moves InDesign documents from folder to folder to indicate the status of a document in the editorial workflow. Im curious if we can still do this once we transition to an InCopy/InDeisign Live Edit workflow. Ive done some initial testing with positive results. The InDesign link to the INCX files seem to stay intact.

Any thoughts or concerns would be appreciated! -Mike

InDesign Master page items causing InCopy reflow problems

≫ Next: hyperlink destination names disappear when incopy stories returned to designer

≪ Previous: Moving InDesign files on a server that has stable INCX links

I've noticed a problem several times where our Incopy file does not match up with InDesign, where the text in InCopy appears to wrap around an item, even though that item is not on the InDesign page. We might have a picture frame on the master page, but when the designer has removed that picture frame from the document page in InDesign, the Incopy file still shows copy wrapping around that object as if it were still on the document page.
So far the work around is to remove the items from the actual master page, but we have a lot of complex template files and this is a pain to ask the designers to do this, when they have already removed these items from the document page.

Sometimes these "ghost" items remain in the InCopy file even though they have been removed from the InDesign master page -- in which case the designer has to create a new blank page in InDesign, and put all the items on this blank page (to make sure they are not picking up the ghost item from the Master page) and update the assignment.
Naturally this bug happens inconsistently, so it's frustrating to troubleshoot. Is it a case of the Indesign file picking up an error? A versioning problem?

I'd love to hear any suggestions.

InDesign CS 3 version 5.0.2, InCopy CS3 version 5.0

Thanks a lot

≪ Previous: hyperlink destination names disappear when incopy stories returned to designer

We are using InDesign CS4 to create 4 page docs. The CS4 Incopy links to the CS4 Indesign doc. The Incopy doc is only text, no URLs, images or anything else. But for some strange reason every now and again, upon check in it saves very slowly and starts increasing the file size. Could this be because we use a PC server? Does anyone know any other reason why this could occur? How can we stop it?

Thanks

≫ Next: Is InCopy CS5.5 compatible with InDesign CS5?

≪ Previous: The partition of words is not the same as in the InDesign

I have a CS4 Indesign document with assignments saved. When the editor works on the file, she is able to save as she goes, however gets a dialogue box about how we are trying to save over an older file with the options 'submit changes, discard changes and I think one other option'.

When 'submit changes' is clicked we re-open the file and find that the changes have not been saved.

We don't understand why we would receive that message since we are hitting save as changes are done while working on the file.

The odd thing is that it doesn't happen on all files. And the dialogue box doesn't always show up.

One thing to note is that we recently changed from a CS2 workflow that we've been using successfully for a few years. Ie. without that particular dialogue box showing up or any save issues.

thanks all!

≪ Previous: Incopy CS4 (mac) - when closing file, changes are not saved

I'm using InDesign CS5.

My editor has InCopy CS4, so they can no longer upgrade to CS5. Now, if they upgrade to CS5.5, will they be able to work on my InDesign CS5 files without any problems? If they check out/check in stories will I have any problem working with them?

We use a Dropbox workflow.

FWIW, I could work in InDesign 5.5, but there are other designers who need access to the files, so it's best if we can keep the job in CS5.

Thanks for the help!

Are there any programs / utilities / scripts out there that will convert an icml file to a jpeg or pdf? I have some users who would like to have previews of incopy files in a system before they're attached to any sort of layout.

I see that there's a native option within IC to export to a PDF, but haven't found any sort of scripting or utility to do this.

≪ Previous: Creating a preview of an InCopy file, automatically

Hi, we're new to InCopy and are currently trialling it. What we're finding is that when we update content that has inline graphics (so they flow through the document with the content), each time we try to update the file within InDesign it crashes the InDesign program and we are unable to update the document.

Has anyone else come across this? And is there a way to use inlinegraphics that doesn't crash InDesign on update?

Thanks.

≪ Previous: Will InCopy CS6 work with InDesign CS4?

Hello InCopy Community:

I have a new user that has InCopy CS6 (version 8.0.1) installed on their Windows System 7 computer. Most of the time, the software opens the files successfully.

However, on some files the InCopy user receives the following error when opening the document:

"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall."

"Missing files: \Program Files\Common Files\TypeSupport\...\CP1252.TXT"

We checked the InCopy machines Program Files and Program Files (x86) directories and the CP1252.TXT file appears in both paths.

I also checked the machine running InDesign CS6 (also Win System 7) and the CP1252.TXT file resides in the appropriate paths.

Is anyone familiar with this issue and have a solution?

Your response would be appreciated.

Help with automating GREP search/replace in InCopy CS3

≪ Previous: CP1252.txt error message

Hello,

I work at a small newspaper where we currently spent a considerable amount of time making fiddly changes to imported newswire copy.

To help automate this, I would like to be able to run a series of GREP search/replaces at the click of a button within InCopy CS3. Does anyone have a simple script that would be able to do that? My own knowledge of scripting is pretty limited.

I am aware of the search-replace scripts that come with InCopy, as well as some more elaborate third-party scripts. (I've found Kasyan Servetsky's "Find change by queries" script to be helpful in automating a series of text queries.) But none I've seen seem to work with GREP within InCopy.

I have come across several GREP search scripts for InDesign, but they don't appear to work in InCopy, which is the application we use for text processing.

Any help much appreciated,

John

I promise it isn't as dense a question as it sounds like.

We're an InDesign operation, but me and the other copywriters work in text editors and feed it to several downstreams, who go on to use it in InDesign, along with a couple of text-only destinations (SalesForce, Magento eComm platform, feed it to our translation service, etc.). I'm trying to determine if Ic could work and eliminate some extra cycles but I can't find a cogent discussion of "InCopy does x, y and z."

If there's someplace all the newbs should go to read up first, please point me thither.

Thanks all.

My designer upgraded to the newest version of inDesign (through CC2014)

When I tried to open any files, I got a message that I had to upgrade my IC or the plug ins. The list of plug ins is as follows:

Spread.rpln

Print.rpln

Generic Page Item.rpln

Document Framework.rpln

My designer tried to remove all plug ins from all files. I still got the message. He created a new file without plug ins. Still no go.

The only solution that helped was to revert to the older inDesign version.

My IC version is 9.2.2 x64

Thoughts?

Hello everyone.

We have designers working on Macs and editors working on Windows laptops in our company. Both platforms have CS6 InCopy and InDesign installed and fonts are fixed for both platforms to work in both ways. But colleagues always complain about errors InCopy gives when editor tries to do anything with opened .indd file. Meaning that file opens OK, you can view it, but as soon as you try adding a note or editing the text it gives and error. Sorry, I had to blur the full path, but the idea is on the screenshot:

The file people are working with lies on the public server, anyone has access to those folders, so it is not permissions problem.

Does anyone have any idea if it possible to work with comfort using different operating systems?

Note: the same flow of actions works perfectly when you use Mac-to-Mac combination.

Incopy package file locations - moveable? (please, oh please!)

≫ Next: "An error has occurred opening the package file" in InCopy

≪ Previous: Exporting InCopy text to MS Word?

Hi

We've just upgraded to Incopy CS3 primarily to make use of the package & email function. The reason we needed it is that, whilst our users are connected to our corporate network, they're connected from home via VPN and ICCS2 was *stunningly* slow when working remotely - even typing was incredibly laggy.

CS3 hasn't solved the problem (yet), because when InCopy uncompresses the package file to the .inca and .incx files, it places them in the user's profile area, under My Documents. In our environment (and many others I suspect) that folder/path is online when the user is connected - so Incopy saves all the files back to the network over the VPN, then opens them over the VPN, and we're no better off than we were in the first place.

I've checked prefs, and it's not there...any suggestions for ways to make IDCS3 save the uncompressed files in an arbitrary folder of my choosing? Or, failing that, a workaround?

Cheers

Keith
